"Large sections of the hipster population you wade through daily in Philadelphia contain a dark undercurrent of young people (it always seems like transplants) who’ve been sucked into this weird emo/hipster variety of Christianity that plays fast and loose with both the central tenets of fundamentalism and what you or I would handily recognize as classic cultish traits.

It's mostly just a really wordy direction to this article in the Weekly, where you can learn a million about Joshua Grace, hear about Aaron Weiss taking back everything he's ever said, and hear a story that culminates with Nikki throwing a cup of "menstrual piss" in a band manager's face.
